Chapter 3 Completed

I just completed Chapter 3 of Her Dangerous Promise. This chapter is actually a whole extra chapter from what I plotted. This will give me some freedom on the word count in the rest of the book. Hopefully, I won't go over the limit, but I think editing the word count down is easier than trying to cram extra word count in.

Do a Little Dance!

I just completed entering the revisions for Crystals and Corpses! Yeah! I have been working on this novel on and off for over ten years! It is done. I won't make anymore changes unless a publisher asks for them. I have been feeling for a while that if I could just finish entering those changes that THEN I would make a sale.

Currently, I have a query and three sample chapters mailed to an agent. I hope she will fulfill my prediction and take me on as a client and get my book picked up by a good publisher.

Final word count was 75,000 words. That is a relief! It was the need to add to the word count that inspired me to make the huge changes to the manuscript in the first place.

Step by Step

I managed another couple of pages in Her Dangerous Promise. I need at least 4 more pages to reach the end of the chapter. I'd like to complete at least one chapter a week. That seems like a reasonable goal.

ALMOST Done

I finally made up the order forms and letter of introduction for Abyss Distribution for my video Easy Guide to Tarot Reading. I need to make a quick demo CD to include in the package. I may or may not get that mailed this afternoon, depending on if I complete it before the post office closes. I definately want to mail it Wednesday at the latest.

I also typed in the changes to the last 3 chapters of C and C. I still have Chapter 16 to enter, but it had a lot of changes and will take more time than I have today. Once that is done, I can finish giving pages numbers to the last 4 chapters, and then I will finally have that done!!!! I estimate this will be completed during my break Thursday morning.

Good Progress

Yesterday I wrote a few pages in Her Dangerous Promise. I still have not finished Chapter 3 yet.

Today I finally mailed my sample and query of Crystals and Corpses to agent Elizabeth English.

My big progress has been with typing in the changes to Crystals and Corpses. I only have 4 chapters to go now, and the last 2 are extremely short.
